Preferred term

mnemonic similarity task  

Definition

  • A recognition task used as a method for studying hippocampal pattern separation processes. Subjects encode a series of visual stimuli in an incidental manner. The items presented during the recognition test are of three types: 1) items identical to those presented during the encoding phase (old items); 2) completely new items; 3) visually similar items to encoded items. During the surprise recognition test, subjects are asked to indicate whether each item presented is old, new or similar.
